, a biologist proposes that doctors in the future will be able to remove a human head from one body and attach it to another by using advanced robotics.

Hashem Al-Ghaili, a biologist and filmmaker, presents in the video a gory yet goofy illustration of how the bizarre experiment could be carried out: two identical autonomous robots, each with multiple arms, would simultaneously operate on the healthy brain-dead donor body and the presumably worn-out body that's the source of the head and brain.

Labeling the whole concept under the catchy brand name of "BrainBridge," Al-Ghaili conceives that this process would unfold like an assembly line, with one robot surgically removing the recipient's entire head while the other robot does the same to the donor's. Then a mobile platform would shift the recipient's head to the healthy donor body and suture these two disparate pieces together.

Al-Ghaili also envisions the robots removing the presumably younger face of the donor and attaching it to the recipient's skull — adding another eye-popping layer to this carnival of horror.The video seems to be pure speculative science since it's not backed by any peer-reviewed research papers, but it sure makes for arresting visuals. Al-Ghaili, who makes a habit of making viral videos, previously put together afeasible.
